The military organization of Hamas in Palestine has claimed that the number of Israeli captives detained during the operation is significantly higher than what the Israeli government has stated.
According to a report by Qatar's television channel Al Jazeera, the spokesperson for Hamas' military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, stated in a message that the number of Israeli detainees under custody is much greater than the figure mentioned by the Israeli Prime Minister, who said they were held in various areas of the Gaza Strip.
Hamas spokesperson responded to Israeli statements regarding the individuals captured, asserting that the operation was carried out with a well-planned strategy, including incursions into Israeli territories and missile attacks, and that most aspects of this operation are proceeding as per our planning.
It's worth noting that on the previous day, Hamas marked the fiftieth anniversary of the Arab-Israeli war with a simultaneous and successful maritime, naval, and aerial operation from Gaza, resulting in the killing of hundreds of Israelis.
